Our friend Larry Schweikart has another threat he has requested I post. I don't know if he is right or wrong about the SAVE America Act Passing or not, but these are his thoughts shared here:

Will "SAVE" save us? Not likely. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it will go down to defeat. Not real defeat, mind you. It will get 51-52 senate votes (not counting J.D. Vance) but will be well short of attaining the 60 votes to kill the "silent filibuster" of the DemoKKKrats.

What about "Can't-Carry-a-Thune's" attempt to force a real, talking filibuster? Also comes up short. I do believe Thune is trying. But he is realistic, and knows he has Yertle, the vomitous MurCowSki, and the unreliable Susan "Tom" Collins to deal with, though he possibly will get Fetterman's vote.

Yes, there is a way to actually sneak it through. DemoKKKrats, in the positions were reversed, would absolutely do this. It requires keeping the majority (51) pro-SAVE senators close enough to the building that if the DemoKKKrats abandon the hall for one minute, you can, by Senate rules, VOTE!

But let's be both honest and generous. Hanging around the Senate chamber for days on end it nearly impossible for people in good health. For some of these sclerotic pleistocene era skinwalkers, even if they wanted to they couldn't physically do it.
he best we will get is a parliamentary maneuver that will allow debate BEFORE the filibuster, and maybe putting these people on record with their votes.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but some of you are way, way too invested in something we don't have the votes for.

Now, I don't know if you've paid attention, but in the last three weeks the GOP has won FOUR STRAIGHT special elections, three in FL and one in VA in a deep blue district (a flip). Prior to that, leaving aside the GA debacle, the GOP had actually won 4/7 specials, for a total of 8/11. Not bad. The GA elections were terrible, but I think were one offs.

They involved 22 commissioner flips from R-D, all of them over data center power usage and energy prices. Despite the fact that I've been harping on AI for a year, the GOP wasn't ready for this. Yes, we need AI data centers. No, DemoKKKrats have no plan except to tax the public or tax the companies. The GOP response should be "Let them build all the data centers they want so long as they show in advance where they will be getting the energy and water, and that local prices won't rise."
Aside from that, I think it's clear why the DemoKKKrats don't dare allow SAVE to pass. They'd never win another national election again. Come visit me on Truth at @CyberneticsLS or at my Larry Schweikart substack!

Editor's Note: I am more optimistic than Larry, I think we will find a way to get it through. I'm praying on it, and you should be too.

For the first time, researchers at MIT have been able to witness the exact moment human life switches on — not minutes or hours later, but the very instant fertilization occurs.

What unfolds in that split second is remarkable. The egg doesn’t simply react randomly. Instead, a Image
coordinated surge of biochemical activity sweeps across it, like a silent signal being flipped on. Scientists describe this as a clear starting point — a biological “time zero” that launches all development that follows.

Even more fascinating is how structured this activation is
The waves move in rhythmic, ordered patterns rather than chaos, echoing mathematical forms found everywhere in nature. The same proportions seen in spirals, shells, plant growth, and even galaxies appear to be reflected at the very beginning of human life.

I GAVE MY INSTAGRAM TO CHATGPT.

Result? 3.8M views in 7 days.

No face cam. No trends. No daily posting.
Just smart prompts that worked like magic.

Copy-paste them: Image
1. Pattern Break Architect

“Act as a senior Instagram growth strategist. Analyze my niche and identify overused content patterns. Then create 10 post ideas that break those patterns while still fitting Instagram’s algorithm. Each idea must feel unexpected and scroll-stopping.”
2. Hook That Grabs Attention

“Act as a viral copywriter who studies high-retention Instagram posts. Rewrite my idea into 5 brutally strong opening hooks designed to stop scrolling instantly. Each hook must create curiosity, tension, or disbelief without using clickbait or fake.”

What happened this week in #LungCancer:

1️⃣ Resistance-Informed Sequencing in EGFR mNSCLC

In 1L EGFR-mutant NSCLC, treatment decisions are increasingly guided by known resistance patterns. Studies comparing tumor samples before treatment and after disease progression have identified common acquired alterations, including MET amplification, CDKN2A/B deletion, MTAP loss, and the EGFR C797S mutation. These findings highlight the importance of anticipating both on-target resistance and bypass pathway activation when planning therapy sequencing.

2️⃣ TTF-1 negativity in Lung Adenocarcinoma

TTF-1 negativity in lung adenocarcinoma defines a distinct high-risk subset with consistently poorer outcomes and lower responses across ICI, chemo-IO and KRASG12C inhibitor strategies. Supporting TTF-1 negativity may identify a high-risk subset as a pragmatic stratifier for expectations, trial design and evidence-generation in routine advanced LUAD care.

3️⃣ Access Barriers to Biomarker Testing

Access barriers can significantly delay or prevent comprehensive biomarker testing. Key issues include bundled inpatient payment models that discourage testing, restrictions on testing after discharge, and slow prior authorization processes. This makes it harder to perform reflex NGS in a timely manner, creating operational friction that can delay treatment decisions and limit appropriate use of targeted therapies.

BREAKING: Claude can now research like a Stanford PhD student.

Here are 9 insane Claude prompts that turn 40+ research papers into structured literature reviews, knowledge maps, and research gaps in minutes (Save this)
PROMPT 1 - The Intake Protocol

Use this when you first upload your papers:

"I'm going to share [X] papers on [topic].
Before I ask anything, do this:

1. List every paper by author + year + core claim in one sentence
2. Group them into clusters of shared assumptions
3. Flag any paper that contradicts another

Don't summarize. Map the landscape."
PROMPT 2 - The Contradiction Finder

Most researchers miss this. This prompt doesn't:

"Across all papers uploaded, identify every point where two
or more authors directly contradict each other.

For each contradiction:
- State both positions
- Name the papers
- Explain WHY they likely disagree (methodology, dataset, era)

Format as a table."

The irony of this of course is that the majority of these think tanks are left of center places reflexively hostile to Trump and all he does where criticism of the war is the default.
The main exception here is the Hudson Institute, which tends towards hawkish on all foreign policy questions. But of course Nick does not make these distinctions because it erodes the entire selling point of Nick’s own institution.
I wish the isolationist/pan-dove wing in DC was less committed to resentment and more committed to honesty. They would be more influential if they were.

In March 2026, explosive allegations surfaced that late civil rights leader Cesar Chavez sexually abused and raped multiple women and young girls during his time leading the United Farm Workers (UFW).
NPR

Key details from the New York Times investigation and
subsequent statements include:

Dolores Huerta's Allegations: The iconic labor leader and UFW co-founder revealed that Chavez raped her in 1966 in a secluded field in Delano, California. Huerta stated she was also manipulated and pressured into a second encounter. She
disclosed that both incidents resulted in pregnancies, and she gave the children to other families to be raised.

Abuse of Minors: Two other women, Ana Murguia and Debra Rojas, came forward alleging Chavez began grooming and sexually abusing them when they were 13 and 15 years

Russian blogger and (now former!) pro-Kremlin loyalist Ilya Remeslo has completely turned against Putin and his catastrophic war in Ukraine.
Remeslo charges that Putin is a war criminal and thief.

“Five reasons why I stopped supporting Vladimir Putin.

Someone had to say it.
1/ Image
“1. The war in Ukraine.
Started as a "police operation", the war has already claimed 1-2 million victims.
In 2014, I supported the annexation of Crimea precisely because it was bloodless. We all thought then that Putin was a unifier of Russian lands.
2/
“And here's where we've ended up - meat-based assaults, luring contract soldiers with deception and much else, as any participant in the Special Military Operation will confirm.

Most local #SEO strategies miss high-intent demand before "near me" searches even happen.

The gap: customers start with problems, not services.

Here's how to capture that demand with jobs-to-be-done (#JTBD) pages 👉 and turn it into revenue 🧵 Image
Why service pages alone fall short:

They target known intent ("furnace repair near me").

But many searches start earlier:
– "Why is my sink backing up?"
– "Is this dangerous?"

If you're not present here, you lose trust, and the eventual conversion. Image
JTBD pages fix this.

They're built around what the user is trying to figure out, not what the service is called.

Think 👇

"Kitchen sink draining slow. What causes it and what to do?"

Goal = help + guide to a decision (not just traffic).

A man who spent less than a year in America understood it better than most people born here.

He wrote down how it could slowly fall apart.

We may be watching it unfold right now. 🧵 Image
In 1831, a 25-year-old Frenchman came to America not to flatter it or indict it, but because a functioning self-governing republic was almost unprecedented in human history.

He wanted to understand how it actually worked. Image
Alexis de Tocqueville didn't find America's strength in its constitution, its geography, or its natural resources.

He found it in something harder to see: citizens solving problems without being told to, governing themselves at the local level, forming associations for every conceivable purpose. Not because the law required it. Because they had the character and the habit.

He called it "the art of association." And in understanding it, he saw exactly how it could be lost.Image

So they needlessly amputated this teenage boy's penis, before he'd even had a single sexual encounter.

Then they made a patchwork quilt out of the harvested penile tissue, a section of his peritoneum lining, and a piece of his thigh skin and used that to line the cavity that they called a vagina.

They had to make this ghoulish quilt because his doctors — in the total absence of credible science — had blocked his puberty so his penis didn't develop, meaning there wasn't enough penile tissue for the standard penile inversion vaginoplasty.

And the reason they blocked his puberty is because he liked ballet, princess gowns, and a sparkly bathing suit when he was a child and so his mother told him he was a girl.

Then, the day after his surgery, the patchwork quilt burst open and he had to be rushed back to the hospital, in agony, for a major revision.

All this was caught on camera and watched by millions. Yet there wasn't rioting in the streets.

Instead, this show played a major role in triggering the social contagion of kids seeking this deeply unethical medical pathway — and people started marching in the streets demanding that they receive it.

This era will be studied in horror for centuries to come.
I once watched the entire show and did a running commentary to release my rage.

🚨 Muslim Council of Britain associate and Pakistan-born Afzal Khan MP is going after Nick Timothy MP — backed by the usual crowd.
Afzal publicly celebrated Pakistan’s “victory” over India last year and was forced to resign as the UK’s trade envoy to Turkey after a visit to Northern Cyprus.
He has no moral authority in Britain.🧵1/Image

I wonder where Afzal got his inspiration for his letter. Perhaps the MCB?
